Well as you can see this is the movie The Patriot (Roland Emmerich 2000). This film has a lot of blood and fighting and some would say it's a bad movie because of it. I would somewhat disagree because some of the bloodiest battles have good scenes in them. In one of the fighting scenes there is a particular moment that I like the best. It was one of the battles between the Americans and the British right before the British lost. Benjamin Martin (Mel Gibson) is the leader of the malitia and is on the front line encouraging his fellow peers to go forward and overrun the British once and for all. It seems that at first they have confidence but slowly each man begins to retreat.
Benjamin Martin takes the American flag and yells for them to follow him and eventually they do. There are some ruins in the middle of the battlefield so once Martin gets to the top of the steps he beckons for the soldiers to follow and overcome this point by waving the flag back and forth in the air. That scene is very important and effective because of all the components it is made up of. There is a low angle shot of him waving the flag showing and meaning that they now are the ones who should take charge and they will win. The sun shines through the ruins meaning that the day of victory is coming. The music is that of triumph, courage and success and that they can and will finally beat their enemies down. It's just that scene that always gets me and has a lot of meaning in it.
